LACEY ROOP

child eyes the moon and wants it
(there is no reason why she cannot have it!
She spins a bridge out of her stories
lassoos the moon and that is why this darkness

Next she wants heart warmth sunbeaming
He burns her,so she turns to sea
Her levels rise
That is global warming

Next she sees trees decapitated/disemboweled
wants them to dance with leaves forever
Seasons ration this to autumn
Stick figure winter

Soon every child sings to stars
for autographs.They fall(in to headlines
and that is why Tiger Woods /Madonna
still smile like outlaws

If you listen soft enough
you will hear your inner laugh
